Excellent job on straightening it Maxine - well done!

Nice coin - well found Mike.

What else was found? I missed the Rally - I watched the city commit promotion suicide instead. Angry

I use a tweezers chopping board, end of a wooden rolling pin and a storm lighter, You must heat the coin right up, and use a knife first, and stop when you feel any resistance, reheat and when its almost flat use the flat end of the rolling pin to finish off, make sure you reheat at every stage, this is not the proper way to do it tho, but it works for me. Good Luck!  Grin

I have done a Henry 1st but its best not knowing the value of the coin before you start.  Shocked Grin
